I am doing the challenge once again this year! I think I will be posting a combination on here as well as on my blog. I started yesterday and the post is on my blog:

So be checking out my blog as well as my page on here.

Happy Blogging!

Just for those of you who were worried about me not getting my last post in, I posted it on my blog due to technical problems with the Nablo site, so here it is:

This is probably where I will be blogging from now on! So thanks for sharing this months journey with me!

So I'm an idiot. I left my cell phone (aka my alarm clock in the car) and I'm all warm and snuggly in my bed and far too lazy to go outside in the freezing cold darkness to get it. So I will have to leave my door open which has a few downfalls, 1) My space heater will not work as well and 2) The cats will probably come in, but I guess it's a worthy sacrifice to hear everyone else waking up so I don't miss work. So I'm praying that my internal alarm clock will go off. That's right I'm a risk t…

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Ok I feel a tad better.

Have you ever gotten into one of those modes when the whole idea of life seems like this dream your floating through then all of a sudden something wacks you over the head and back into realty? Like when your driving and the sun is shining, and all of a sudden the fact that I'm going to die someday somehow pops into my head. Maybe I'm just dark in my thinking, or maybe I'm just young and naive and…

It's my favorite little guy's b-day tomorrow.

Honestly, my heart is on overdrive. Constant pep talks and reminding myself of Truth. Reminding myself of what matters and pushing feelings aside is very difficult. I never really thought you could discipline your heart, but once you work on your mind, your…

So I missed yesterday's post. It's amazing how grumpy you can be over something that in reality doesn't matter. So I'm sorry Pastor Darin and Jackie. But I didn't finish strong like I was hoping.

Not feeling good today, bad day at work. Yet God is still good. Last night I played softball with Jimmy (I did so bad) but anyways, I took off my rings to play. Well today when I went to put them on I realized that one of my three rings was unaccounted for. The one that was missing was my puri…

So this is technically late... it's 12:47 and my mom didn't exactly follow my directions and made it more into her own post than her typing what I said =) hehe but thanks mom!, so I feel like I need to write something from me.

Three chords rocked tonight. Amanda and I got to reveal out top secret plan which were t-shirts we made for the wives of the band members and for us. they came out wicked sweet! And it was fun to see the wives wear them. So I'm glad Three Chords loved them so muc…

I am currently unleashed per Amanda's request to write anything I want on her behalf :O).

So here I go....Once upon a time I was born a poor Greek girl, I was 7lbs 6oz, on my first day I ate, drank and slept.....44 years later, I am not going to tell you what I weigh, but I ate, drank and slept. In other words "I've come a long way baby''.

Oh, I forgot Amanda said I had to get this done by midnight or she turns into a 3 Chords Grou

So much I could write about.

Shopping today was great and I had great company. Starbucks. Picture with Santa. The "hand lotion" guys at the mall that you try and avoid. People everywhere. People frusterated everywhere. And then there was us four girls having too much fun and making the best of crowded rooms and long lines. You just need the right attitude.

Football yesterday was fun. I need to toughen up though because I cried when the ball hit me in the face. I tried so hard no…

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I'm pretty excited for good food and seeing my uncle. And the Greek Priest and his intern are going to be there as well, should be fun times =)

Just about ready to go off to the turkey bowl, one of my favorite days of the year. I think I've caught a football twice since last years game, so shhhhh.... don't tell. ;-) I haven't been feeling good since last night so I'm hoping I feel better and that running around won't make my tummy more upset. Plus I want to be able…

Amanda and I had our 'top secret mission" today. It went well.

Tomorrow is the turkey bowl so I'm excited.

I'm trying to hang Christmas lights around my room and it's not going so hot, it was nice when I had a roomate to help me =) Speaking of my roomate I talked to her yesterday and it was good to catch up.

Well I don't feel to good and need to get some sleep for tomorrow. It's thanksgiving! I better get to bed because it's only 10 minutes till tomorrow =)

hehe...…

Well it's 15 minutes till midnight and I just got the computer back. So I am posting much later than planned which is kind of a bummer, because now I'm too tired too think.

Started reading the preface for "Desiring God" for like the 20th time. I was looking through the book and realizing that at one point I made it to page 48, but I have started it many times so I have different color highlighting in the book, this time I chose pink. Hopefully I can stick to it.

First snow of th…

Wicked tired... man this weekend killed me.

One more day at work for the week! =)

Talked about the story of the golden calf in youth group tonight. I'm so thankful that God chose the people of Israel as His chosen people. It shows how much love is a part of God's character when He knew that the Israelites would mess up many times and yet He still chose them anyways. I mess up constantly, so it's nice to read about a group of people who doubt, sin, and are ridiculously stupid som…

So the sleepover went well, as did the devotional time. Here's a pic of 5 of the 8 girls that were there. I told them that their mountain dew looked like pee in the picture :-P

They were really great. Hyper of course but great! We watched Shrek 3 and Material Girls. In the devotional I talked about how my transition home has been and how i've struggle…

Continue

So I'm at the church and the girls and I are watching Shrek 3! I just remembered that I hadn't blogged yet, whew! close call! I figured I'd say a hi at least. We are having fun and after the movie we are having a devotional singing time probably around 10:30/ so if you think of it pray it goes well. I'm going to talk about contentment and about God and His love for us, and how to get to know Him. One thing I've noticed about our kids this year is they don't seem to know that it's okay to read…

No time today.

Girls sleepover tomorrow night with nothing really planned, struggling what to do for my devotional time, but will hopefully come up with something tonight.

I'm driving my dads car for a bit this weekend while the kiaguar gets fixed, pretty sweet to be driving a newer car.

I'm glad starbucks has their winter drinks in now.

alrighty, goodnight!

So I had a really great night. Catching up with people is always good. Went to a coffee shop and there happened to be an open mic so I got to listen to some really talented people and have a great conversation. I've really been enjoying face to face conversations lately and am realizing how much I dislike the internet, but I still love it at the same time unfortunetley. I think it can be far too easy to be someone your not.

I have a girls sleepover to plan for saturday night and I've g…

Oh boy, I've been finding myself in a writer's block once again. Probably because I feel like I've been falling back a little bit the past couple of days, but feeling stronger at the same time. It's so amazing to see how God can renew a mind when we focus on Him and His word. I find that throughout the day when I start to feel weak, I find myself humming praise songs in my head or praying to God that He would keep me strong and help my mind to focus on Him and things that are good. Work a…

Sigh... I feel like I have so much to do lately and so little time. The last thing I want to do right now is go work out, but I'm going to anyways. I haven't been feeling that great since yesterday but lots of things go around at schools, but I'm praying this will quickly pass. Bible Study tonight should be good, although I will def. miss Pastor Darin and Jackie. I'll add more to this later, but I figured I would at least write something to get me started. Continue

So I need to practice geetar more or Jimmy and I are never playing at an open mic.

I like making things but wish I was more creative.

I have work tomorrow but my day off was so great.

I thought a bazillion times today "I should blog about that" and now it has all escaped me, sorry to dissapoint you all in this pathetic post, Jackie said to blog about my dogs, but I told her they are not worth blogging about. The dibbles have a beautiful dog though, if I have a dog someday…
